Glaciers and ice sheets are melting in response to climate warming. Whereas the physical
behaviour of glaciers has been studied intensively, the biological processes associated with …

Freshwater discharge from glaciers is increasing across the Arctic in response to
anthropogenic climate change, which raises questions about the potential downstream …

In modern life petroleum-based plastic has become indispensable due to its frequent use as
an easily available and a low cost packaging and moulding material. However, its rapidly …

Riverine organic matter supports of the order of one-fifth of estuarine metabolism. Coastal
ecosystems are therefore sensitive to alteration of both the quantity and lability of …

Subsurface microbial oxidation of overridden soils and vegetation beneath glaciers and ice
sheets may affect global carbon budgets on glacial–interglacial timescales. The likelihood …

Runoff from small glacier systems contains dissolved organic carbon (DOC) rich in protein-
like, low molecular weight (LMW) compounds, designating glaciers as an important source …

Glacial meltwater exports a unique type of organic carbon to marine systems, distinct from
non-glacially derived riverine export, potentially capable of stimulating downstream marine …

The delivery of fresh water, carbon, nitrogen and phosphorous from high-latitude regional
watersheds is important to the ecology and nutrient balance of coastal marine ecosystems in …

Runoff from mountain glaciers and icecaps is a critical control on physical and chemical
conditions of aquatic ecosystems in glaciated watersheds. To date, there has been little …

Glaciers and ice sheets are significant sources of dissolved organic carbon and nutrients to
downstream subglacial and marine ecosystems. Climatically driven increases in glacial …
